Director of Clinical Education and Assistant Professor
Allison Philips has been a Physician Assistant since 2013 after graduating as a member of the charter class of the Campbell University PA Program. Allison has a passion for working with an underserved, rural health population and spent over 7 years working as a PA at the Harnett County Health Department. During her time at the health department, Allison helped to open the county’s first Teen Clinic, focusing on increasing the number of patients ages 13-19 being seen for preventative care services. As a result of this work, she was awarded the GlaxoSmithKline Child Health Individual Recognition Award at the 2019 North Carolina Public Health Association Conference.
In 2021, Allison joined the Breast Medical Oncology team at the North Carolina Basnight Cancer Hospital working alongside Dr. Lisa Carey. She also served as co-chair of the Care Communication Committee of the Lineberger Cancer Center Equity Council as she has an interest in improving health literacy.
In addition to her clinical work, Allison has helped to train physician assistant students throughout her career both as a clinical preceptor and adjunct faculty member. In 2022, she obtained a Master of Health Professions Education from Campbell University and is excited to be able to use this additional training as a faculty member of the UNC PA program.
